“It’s going to take a whole lot more effort than what we’re giving,” defensive end Osi Umenyiora said for this Sunday story. The Giants have had some other win-or-else games this year and lost but this one is different because it’s an NFC East game. A few weeks back Green Bay played with some desperation and beat the Cowboys at home. I think the Giants have the same feel Sunday.

Vinny DiTrani of the Bergen Record offered up this assessment: Maybe the Giants just aren’t good enough.
